That is around the temp that my display will freak out, and then blackout

Had this problem in the past contact the compagny where you bought it and return it if posiable. If you can't return the card anymore try to contact ATI and try get a new one there. The more you use this GPU to try and solve the problem the more ATI will go QQ about user abuse.

Is the fan spinning on the card? Have you tried increasing the fan speed? You may want to try replacing the thermal paste on the GPU, but if you don't want to do that, I would contact support for the cards manufacturer.

It may void warranty if he removes the cooler from the card, depending on which partner made the card.

Ive had this happen when I had my 6850 crossfire setup but it wasnt with the stock heatsink so I just reseated and/or reapplied tim and the temps did go back to normal. It did happen on more than one occasion though.

Fan is spinning, and I have increased the speeds.

I will as soon as possible try to replace the paste.

I using an old disc, installed all old drivers to see if that helps. The tempature is much cooler now at 40C.

But i have been having weird start up problems, where the computer turns on, but nothing occurs, no beeps or anything.
